    Thanks for that Ben.

    Wow, Euro 1,340 for approval that lasts for 2 years !!!!!

    Now I know why some oil containers say "meets" rather than "approved".

    Your welcome

    The rep also told me that a Workshop in SA services the T5 Campers from KEA with Penrite and has VW Approval.

    Also asked about DSG oil the rep said its being developed but will be a while before it arrives.

    Hey Ben exactly the letter i saw, cheers for posting up mate. Im signed up with Penrite and consider it a great move, tech back up is great and having oil delivered to my home base is great. Being mobile at the mo i can be all over the place,but if i call with an emergency they will even leave me oil at reception when the warehouse is closed cant get any better really. Local rep couldnt help any more if he tried
    Cheers

    Hi Jmac,

    You asked if someone tried Sonax brand.

    Today I received some Sonax car care products and I just tried their wheel cleaner (ordered 5L of it, since Penrite rep showed me how it works). I cleaned wheels on our Touareg in less than 10min. The product is ph neutral, smells nice and just sprays on leave 5 min and hose off. The best wheel cleaner I've ever used!
    Also tried/bought Glass Polish, Clearview windscreen washer additive (in 5L very economical), Glass cleaner (in 10L well priced). All good.
